Here is a commission piece that was requested after I had auctioned and sold an ACEO version. This is OSWOA® or 4x6 inches watercolor on paper. The original piece was my response to the sudden explosion of interest in crow and raven art on Ebay. I pondered many explanations since it was intriguing that it happened around the holidays late 2007. One of my speculations was maybe it was a religious symbol. I will probably never know, but i found myself painting a raven or crow whispering the sun's secret to this bronze Buddha.

You painted crows too?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! And what's more, proof that watercolors can lead to enlightenment.
ReplyDeleteI am crazy for all your buddhas, with or without the crow.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lee - it's the buddhas that I love! They are outstanding!!! There's something so compelling about them!!!
